Arguably the best right edge in the comp on current form.

Have you seen Kulikefu Finefuiaki this year?

 

[Macca89]

Happy to see him doing well at a club who signed him for his actual attributes.

I’m happy with the back rowers we have and wouldn’t trade either for him. Not an issue at all. Hope he has a lot of success there.

Yeh I’m not saying I would trade who we have, especially for his price tag. Was more making the point of how good he’d have looked under Holbrook. He was wasted here under AOB with his attributes.

He was wasted here under AOB with his attributes.

Like most players

 

[Fred Harvey]

AOB “what can u offer this team?”

KPP “I’m a highly skilled player that can contest bombs, poke through the line, offload, and score the odd try”

AOB “Here’s our game plan, you’ll be doing none of that here”.

Precisely what I was thinking, speed, agility, capable in the air but never played to his strengths...great to see KPP thriving now though.

Have you seen Kulikefu Finefuiaki this year?

Yeah fair call, Kuli is killing it despite the Dolphins playing well below the level I believe they should be at. Always had the quality and has now developed an elite motor over the offseason to sustain that quality while playing 80.

 

[R_A]

KPP would be killing it under Holbrook.

He would be that popular with the fanbase if he were here we'd have a similar love affair the way we do with Dom Young. No one can be Dom Young of course but he can be #2 and the forwards version.

I don’t really care about KPP, I think Lucas is better and there is no way you can pay both. Hope KPP goes well at the Tigs but it was the right call to let him walk.

 

[Frank McWilliams]

The sad part is how he was used, curtailing his strengths was sad, we could have been so much better if he played his natural game

From what I have heard, KPP was really ready for a change.

 

[knights80]

Connor Watson granted permission to negotiate with clubs.
Know it would be unlikely but could the 257 collective get back together at newcastle

He would be awesome coming on again at the 25th min mark

Only problem would be the price tag

He would want $400-500k at least, could keep graham who isn’t quite as good but maybe only on $200k

 

[Jon Snow]

Liked Watson when he was here, but I actually think utility players are less valuable with the 19 man bench now. Would be prioritising Harrison Graham at this stage, with Crossland also doing a remarkable job.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

I don't think Connor Watson makes our best 17 right now. Good player but a horrible fit at our club. There are plenty of clubs who could use someone like him a lot more and he'd probably get a pay rise to go there.

 

[Brad tighe]

He is no chance of coming back.

 

[Macca89]

I reckon he will end up at Manly

 

[Vagabond89]

I reckon he will end up at Manly

Bears would pay a tidy sum for his services

 

[Billy]

Watson would suit our new style very well, but we probably have enough younger and cheaper options that can do close to the same thing.

 

[mozza]

Nil interested. He’s getting older and we’ve got cheaper and better options. Plus I still kind of hate him for leaving in the first place.

 

[R_A]

Butcher and Collins on terrible contracts doesn’t help their cause. Yes he still offers something but there’s no point of having him here now agree with how much he would actually want.
Maybe he wil be loyal to Robbo and stay for less/similar tho if it’s his last chance for a payday

Express yourself: Why Benji's brand of footy has KPP thriving

Kai Pearce-Paul is about to face his old club Newcastle for the first time but believes Knights fans might see a new-and-improved footballer under the tutelage of Benji Marshall.

More proof O'Brien had the handcuffs on the team. KPP talking about his move to the Tigers and how Benji is allowing him to express himself and use his personal tools like the offload. Says it was just two different systems and this one suits him more.
